Although many commercial feeds contain some salt, free-choice supplementation lets animals meet their individual needs, especially during hot weather or when grazing on low-sodium forages. This white brick provides a convenient, long-lasting source of salt for animals to lick as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIngredients and Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis white brick is made from high-purity salt (sodium chloride) with calcium stearate and mineral oil added as binders and to reduce dust.
